PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC; Gearbox SoftwareThis fun D&D-infused cooperative shooter treads a line between fourth-wall prodding and juvenile, with unicorn queens and hi-tech weaponry

Every step of the way through Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, a D&D-infused spinoff of Gearbox’s cooperative shooter-RPG Borderlands, you think to yourself: this would be so easy to get wrong. The voice acting is exactly one decibel away from irritating at all times. Every joke walks a tightrope between exuberant fourth-wall prodding and juvenile gag. And after copious Borderlands games, spinoffs and add-ons, there ought to be a sense of over-familiarity about turning up at an enemy camp, shooting everything that moves, then watching your foes explode like scowling pinatas, before you hoover up all the loot they drop. But truthfully, there isn’t.
